As part of this recruitment round, we are looking for solutions that address the challenges defined by the Consumer & Products area. The call for applications began on March 23 and will continue until April 12 of this year.
Challenge list
We are looking for innovative solutions that enable the development of new, automated retail formats at ORLEN fuel stations. The goal of the challenge is to identify technologies and business models that can generate new revenue streams through automated or unattended sales formats.
Solutions may include modern vending machines, autonomous retail points, unmanned micro-stores or other forms of self-service sales offering food products, beverages, convenience items or other product categories. We are looking for both hardware solutions and digital platforms supporting the management of such retail formats, which can be tested in the fuel station environment.
We are looking for innovative concepts and technologies that enable the development of self-service foodservice areas at fuel stations. The goal of the challenge is to increase the attractiveness of the food offering and reduce service time by allowing customers to prepare selected products themselves.
Solutions may include “build-your-own” stations, salad bars, topping stations, semi-automated meal preparation systems or other self-service food concepts. We are looking for formats that enable active customer participation in meal preparation while remaining easy to maintain in terms of quality and safety standards required in the fuel station environment.
We are looking for innovative solutions that enable the storage and display of food products under controlled temperature conditions, both chilled and heated, in the form of modern shelves, lockers or other compact devices.
The goal of the challenge is to identify technologies that maintain the proper temperature of ready-to-sell products in a “grab & go” model, improve customer experience, and support the development of new foodservice formats. We are looking for solutions more advanced than traditional refrigerators or heaters, including smart temperature control systems, product monitoring, display management, or integration with sales systems.
